Wiccan Offering For Aradia

Before performing this rite, you should be properly prepared and purified with
a ritual bath. Walk naked or wrapped in a bathrobe to your shrine. Originally a rite
such as this was performed in the open air in a grove. Thus ideally, your shrine would
be located outside in a garden or patio enclosed with a high privacy fence. However,
it may be performed inside your home.

Your offering to the Gracious Goddess, Aradia, can be a single flower, fruit, a libation of
red juice or wine, a piece of bread dipped in salt, a bit of honeycomb, a bough of pine,
etc. Approach the
shrine and say the following. (You may also ask for a specific boon.)

The bulk of this ritual would appear to have been adapted from the
Farrar-Alexandrian Invocation of Aradia,
but more likely it derived from an earlier Alexandrian or
Gardnerian source. It is similar to other materials dated from the 1970's,
including a ritual to the God in The Grimoire of Lady Sheba, 1971, 1974, 2001
(pp 46-47). Aidan Kelly, in his Crafting the Art of Magic, provided an earlier
version of this invocation to Aradia. (See Aradia the Healer,
specifically 1953.)

Interestingly,
the ritual is also vaguely reminiscent of offerings at a Roman household Lar shrine.

The opening phrase, HEKAS! HEKAS! ESTE BIBELOI!, is likely Greek. One source
translates it as: "Far away be the profane."

There is a simpler Wiccan rite, which may be related to or derived from the ritual above.

With a thorn, prick the symbol of the waxing moon in a short, broad candle of
pure beeswax. Light the candle and with eyes fixed upon the flame, concentrate on your
wish as you chant:

Extinguish the flame, but hold the memory of its light in your mind's eye for as long
as you can. A way to make your wish come true will reveal itself.
--Elizabeth Pepper, Witches All, A Treasury from Past Editions of the Witches
Almanac, 2003 (p. 55)

Apparently this rite was collected from a Book of Shadows from the early twentieth
century. The ritual does not mention Aradia specifically, but "Gracious Lady Moon"
was a Wiccan epithet for Aradia.
